Atlanta,...Texas

Atalanta, Texas (population: 5,745), is 25 miles SW of Texarkana and 10 miles W of the Arkansas state line. Named after the city in Georgia by early settlers from that state, Atlanta was "born" in 1871 when the Texas and Pacific Railroad arrived and the post office opened.

I suppose Cinderella Man (2005) wasn't enough to keep it open for business.
